  • Section 30(2): Listing heritage resources in the Voortrekker Road Area in the heritage register.
  • Section 34(3): Exempting specific areas from compliance with section 34(1) of the NHRA. The effect of these exemptions will be that application to Heritage Western Cape for a section 34(1) permit to alter or demolish any structure within the defined areas will no longer be required.
  • Section 38(9): Exempting specific areas from compliance with section 38(1) of the NHRA. The effect of these exemptions will be that notifications to the responsible heritage authority regarding the provisions of section 38(1) within the defined areas will no longer be required.

At present, any person wanting to alter or demolish a structure over 60 years in the demarcated Voortrekker Road Area must apply to HWC for a section 34(1) permit to do so, in terms of the NHRA. Should an exemption for the demarcated Voortrekker Road Area be approved, application to HWC for a section 34(1) permit will no longer be required, nor will notifications of the intention to develop in terms of section 38(1).
